”An Eden Valley-sourced shiraz that shows impressive depth of fruit straight off the bat. It's all black cherry, blackberry and macerated plum underscored with hints of broody spice, sage, salted licorice, dark chocolate, jasmine and earth. For all the fruit depth, there is a nice sense of freshness from the quartz-like acid line, some fine toothsome tannin grip and a spicy finish that shows great plushness of fruits. To me, it does seem a little darker in the fruit spectrum than normal and lacks a little of the detail of previous releases but it is a lovely wine all the same.”
